OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Don't Cry Because It's Over, Smile Because it Happened (Offseason - 2023)

[Chinatown88]

Noooo don't do smart things, do dumb things

Jerry is jonesing for Bijan at 26. I would despise it.

Jalen Carter's only doing drills today. Ok, now he might fall.

The discourse is going to be interminable, isn't it?

Guess corner is back in play at 10.

I don't understand this move if it's not a Post-June 1st designation...

Completely.

Yep. It is post 6/1, per Garafolo.

f*** off

Omg edit so sorry I quoted the wrong message I promise

Fitzgerald says they basically need to do a Lane restructure in order to make this cut work, even using their last 6/1 slot.

I do strongly believe they chose the right Corner. Even setting aside contracts.

I do too, but it's still f***ing annoying

I know it's been said but I feel like Howie is gonna try bargain shopping again with Shaq Griffin.

as someone who has paid very little attention to football and no longer trusts myself to make an accurate evaluation, this made me feel better because it goes against my initial feeling on the decision

Their play on the field or their looks?

Not that anyone cares what I think I'm sure, but I'm fine with it.

Slay is getting older, got worse as the season went on, and I certainly didn't want to give him a 3 year deal.

The Eagles historically get rid of players 1 year too early rather than 1 year too late - and I agree with that method. So I'm fine with this even though Slay would've been nice to keep.

 

[deadhead]

Slay had a bad second half, is a year older, time to bring in young blood.
I think this scheme makes CBs as much as CBs make the scheme work, a lot of protection.

But I also think Howie needs to bite the bullet, absorb some cap hit instead of pushing it down the road, even if the team has to take a step back and play a lot of inexperienced players.

I see a trade down for more picks and the Eagles being major players in the UDFA market to build depth.

 

[Jtown]

If howie got bradberry at a cheaper hit than slay, and that opened up room to get cjgj done then that is some slick maneuvering.

 

[Chinatown88]

He wants to play for the Jets. Guess it's up to the two of them to hash it out in a trade.

 

[philly_28]

Has anybody read something about re-doing Slay's contract before the release??

If it's a straight post-06/01 release, his 17 million non-guaranteed base salary stays on the books until June 1st.

I'd rather have them reduce the base salary to the minimum (~1.5 million IIRC) first before releasing him so we get some cap relief immediately.

Would make no difference to Slay, he's not seeing a cent of that money anyway, neither the 17 million, nor the minimum salary.

 

[RockLobster]

I'm sure Howie and the FO has plans on how to best get the post-6/1 release done. They may not need the cap space immediately, who knows. But to answer your question--no, haven't read any specific details like that.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can't help but laugh at this one.

Hat tip to Schefter who saw it on the Pat McAfee show.

Baker to the Bucs

i guess we needed some sort of vet to compete with the kid
